If your goal is to transition from renting to homeownership in Chicago, efficient time management is your secret weapon. In this video, Crotty Group agent Joe Deardurff explores why budgeting your time is a critical step in your journey.

Once you've got your lease end date sorted and you understand your renewal options, it's time to map out the next several months effectively. Remember, house hunting can be a process that takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months after you're pre-approved for a mortgage. In a competitive market, multiple offers might be needed before you secure your dream home, and once accepted, closing can take an additional 30-60 days.

Stay lease-aware and ensure that your lease has enough time left to find a home and get under contract. Work closely with your realtor to initiate your home search at least 4 months before your lease expires. This proactive approach helps prevent unexpected delays and the possibility of needing to stay with family or friends if you can't extend your lease.
